That should still leave enough for a bridges max contract



Duren/Stewart/Nerlins
Bridges/Bagley/Olynyk
Bey/Diallo/Procida (sleeper pick)
Cade/Burkes/Lee
Ivey/Hayes/Joseph
:whoo:



This team could be top 8 in the East, with 2 rookies and a 2nd year player starting


Bucks
Nets
Heat
76ers
Bulls
Celtics
Raptors
Pistons


Cavs
Knicks
Hornets
Hawks
Pacers
Wizards
Magic

So basically the pistons got duren and some 2nd rd picks in a salary dump form the Knicks

Noel and Burks only have 2 years left on their contract with an option after this year. Probably won't pick up their option. It's a good move.

Gives us another solid veteran on the wing with Burc. Also Duren is extremely raw. Duren can mostly sit and learn this year. Get better in practice and be more ready in his 2nd year

Still not sure how I feel about after this trade. I still wanted the Pistons to sign Miles or especially Ayton in FA but :francis: that's the risk. What if Duren bust?
He’s 18 and on a rookie deal. We have cap space to swing for somebody again if we want in a better free agency class
I think they want Jaylen brown next year personally

I think they should do as they are and go with the young team they have without a major FA addition.

Gonna be a competition between Bagley and Stewart at PF to see who develops 3 ball first. Think they want rim runner/Shot blocker at C. Bagley is a natural scorer so my money would be on him to eventually start at 4.

For what they’ll ask of Duran don’t see a steep learning curve so I think he’ll be in rotation early. Learning from Noel early should be good for him

I'd start the season with Bagley at 4 and Stewart at 5.

Noel can start at 5 if Stewart is injured

Duren the youngest player in the league. I wouldn’t expect much from him his first couple years.
